There's an Eleven tease in the middle of the Other One tease at the end of this Space.

Huge version. Weird that it's not on here. Jerry is brilliant from the first note of the intro. Listen to him starting at 9:05. Brent great too.

Jerry really connects the dots in the solo. The first few phrases in particular are sublime.

Brooding, hypnotizing version. Beautiful playing by Jerry and Brent, and brilliant vocal with unexpected touches.

Jerry's singing on the verses is powerful. Bobby, Phil and Brent are great throughout.

Jerry really seems to be trying to find something in the solo, and takes it through the chorus and all over again, not quite finding it, but reaching some deep emotion. Also much prefer the clean guitar sound over the distorted that he used later on.

Bobby plays great and Jerry's vocals are deep and emotional. Who knew Jack was a river?

I love the slow jam into SOC, which is unique and maybe even a better way to play the tune. And the Estimated jam after is sick.

Love the extra long solo in Lady With a Fan. Drummers sound great throughout. This version has a deep, drowsy, hypnotic feel. Needs more than 2 votes.
